6/6/06 :uhoh

[Dasquian Belargic]

:uhoh indeed. Nostradamus apparently said that the anti-christ would be arriving today (or at least that's what the trailer for The Omen has lead me to believe), but as of yet there seems to be no sign of him. The most evil thing that has happened to me today is my nose getting slightly sun-burnt. To compensate, I am listening to "The Number of the Beast" on repeat. What evil things have happened to you today, on this most evil of days?

Random fact: Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is fear of the number 666.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

When I was in retail we'd get customers who'd refuse to take all of their change if they were owed $6.66 back.

I wonder if the Roman Catholic church is going to be keeping tabs on all children born today? Actually, that would be a lot of kids.

[Karl Valten]

I had finals today. Does that count as evill?

[Morgan Evanar]

Welcome to an arbirtrary date system invented by humans and only worried about by humans. Not even a dog cares, and dogs care quite a bit.

[Khendon Sevon]

The sky is growing dark here.

I hope evil hobgoblins jump out of fissures that form as lightning strikes the earth. Then I can go borrow my buddy's sword (I'm assuming guns, cars, and all technology will stop working) and we can hunt the damned creatures.

Yay.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It would probably be more accurate if we used the same dating system that they used when the Bible was written. Today all I fear is the awful movie the Omen, which I will refuse to see because it will probably suck, and scare me at the same time.

[Sanis Prent]

And if we knew exactly when Jesus was born, aligned that date precisely with the Judeo-Christian calendar, and if 666 actually carried biblical relevance, this would matter.

As it stands, it just serves to make idiots and blowhards rant and rave, and miss the true point of today, which is to observe the anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, of which I have heard NOT A THING ABOUT in the news today.

Man I hate people.

My black cat looked on edge all day.

Then again, he looks on edge most days.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

This is also my half birthday. :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

:eek... it's my unbirthday!

[Jecht Tar]

Don't worry, the Devil changed his number :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You're just trying to steal the spotlight from me!! :verymad

[Jecht Tar]

No seriously. There are some people that believe the Devil changed the number/date to that of something else, although they are unsure as to what that is.

I'm kind of hoping more along what Khendon is hoping for, because I think that going about killing ebil things Diablo style would be loads of fun, and besides, I need to get my Paladin levels up.

[Dasquian Belargic]

777, the number of the moose.

[Jecht Tar]

We can only speculate at this point. But if nothing happens today then I'd hazard a guess that the number was changed or the Devil had such a hangover from partying last night that he forgot to send his spawn out into the world.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

The Bible states that the number of the beast is man's number and it is 666, but there are any number of things that this could mean, from today's date to a birthmark to his phone number. There are six hundred and sixty-six different things it could mean.

[Zereth Lancer]

Crazy 'lil world aint it...

Happy Unbirthday! But which one of us is the anti-christ?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

My bets are on Droo.

[Jecht Tar]

*Dumps holy water on Droo*

[Lilaena De'Ville]

DID HE SIZZLE AND SCREAM FOR MERCY?!

[Dasquian Belargic]

;; makes a getaway while no one is looking ;;

:evil

[Razielle Alastor]

I started a job today. :|

....and it is also my unbirthday. My Birthday is X-mas, I stole it from the big man when they figured out it wasn't really his. ;)

So.. you could be looking for..me.>D

[Ryan Pode]

I have 6:06 on 6/06/06.

[Ryan Pode]

And of course it posts at 6:05. >_<

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's 666 not 66666, you buffoon.

:p

[Lilaena De'Ville]

But seriously, what could be more evil than releasing YET ANOTHER movie remake today?

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's a remake? I thought it was a sequel. Shows how much attention I'm paying.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I suppose that being the antichrist takes up most of your time.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Yes. There is much... antichristing to be done. I have fishes and loaves to steal.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

AH HA I knew I could get you to admit it!

>D

:uhoh too bad we used all the holy water on Droo!

[Dasquian Belargic]

And now that I have seen you for the zealous heathens that you are, I'm afraid I'm going to have to smite you.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You can't smite me! Today is my half birthday!

[Dasquian Belargic]

That's what they all say!

Now... Cake or death!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

er....

Cake?

[Jecht Tar]

*Stabs a jug of water with a knife and thus creates Holey Water* *Dumps water on Jen*

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You created holey jug, silly.

[Jecht Tar]

No, I put a hole in the water too! The hole only exists for a small time so I have to be quick to administer it to the demonic target. But in the offchance that I don't dump it fast enough I can always beat the demon over the head with the holey jug, perhaps of Antioch.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

I almost had to stay another 4-5 hours at work, but they found someone to replace the person who called off. ^__^

[Lilaena De'Ville]

An almost evil story? That doesn't count, Snackers.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Only one telemarketer called me today. Plus I slept through the day, so if something catastrophic happened, I snoozed through it.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You must have missed the asteroid that hit New York City and spawned legions of the un-dead.

Googling 6/6/06 is a little scary...

...nothing scary came up though. :(

I'd much rather the world be crawling with Deadites rather than zombies :\

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Well if it was what you preferred, it wouldn't be evil. :rolleyes

[Droo]

Never fear! Now that I have been bathed in holy water, I am imbued with the power of the Almighty and will smite the scourge with great wrath!

[Jecht Tar]

Can you clean the dishes with holy power? I mean, all that grime build-up is pretty evil. Oh, and can you rid us of chores and school, those are REAALLLY evil.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

But, Deadites are evil too :p

In fact, they're eviler than zombies. Plus, they're lead by Evil Ash, so that's major evil points right there.



ps - evil. evil evil evil.

FINE YOU WIN

Yay! I guess if it's the last day I have before demons eat my soul (or something) I might as well write a song about it! W0000oooo...

So, anyone get eaten yet?

[Park Kraken]

Evil things that happened to me today -

I must of seen, let's see, about six or seven brushfires today while running errands in the next county over. Satan's minions at work? Nah, people burning the remainder of trees knocked down in the year's before lasts hurricanes.

I have a congested nose, and it's really making me feel pitiful. I am preparing ze tissues and my special blowhard abilites to give it the one-two-three knockout.

Plus, today is my younger sister's and my aunt's birthdays.

BTW, nothing about today is evil, because today is 6606, and I don't remember there being an 0 in 666. It seems everyone is ignoring the 0. Does no one see the 0? :crack

Now a really evil date would have been the sixth year AD, or after Christ's death, in which June the sixth really would have been 666.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It's the sixth year of the new millenium. :)

[Park Kraken]

Of the second millenium. Not really scared. There will be a sixth day of the third, fourth, so on.

Now the sixth year of the sixth millenium, however..... :(

[Lilaena De'Ville]

That would be 6/6/6006 and not the right number at all!!

*SIGH*

[Park Kraken]

Hey, the first year of the sixth millenium, and this time none of the 0's are between the 6's. 6/6/6000.

But still, the year 6 A.D. would still be 6/6/6, the closest thing to the number.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I read somewhere that 666 isn't really the number of the beast anyway; that there was a mistranslation. The original number was supposed to be 616. Not sure on the validity though.

[Daanarri Meorrrei]

Then we totally missed it. Look out for little boys born on the first of June. Unless it is European dating, and its the 6th of January... :uhoh

[Park Kraken]

Well is 13 is a suspicous number, how about 613 being the mark of the beast?

In that case, 6/1/3, the month of June, the day the 1st, the year the third of A.D.

Or the third millenium.

Only nine hundred ninety four years left. Oh well, time to party hard. :crack

[Daanarri Meorrrei]

13 isn't a suspicious number! That's like saying 2 is a crazy number!

[Khendon Sevon]

I thought it was supposed to be 999?

But, "9, 9, 9 the number of the beast!" doesn't sound as good.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

999 is the emergency number in Britain.

[Park Kraken]

What if the numbers are substitutes for letters in the alphabet? 666 would be EEE, and 618 would be EAG.

Hmm, what would EEE stand for? A woman's shriek, the name of a new strain of Enzyme, or perhaps the word shown on my scales when my weight exceeds the limit of 530 lbs?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Initials. Eliza Emma Eckles. If it were a girl, that is.

[Khendon Sevon]

Isn't EEE a protocol?

[Serena Laran]

Only 602 posts to go!

[Park Kraken]

Hey this is Satan we're talking about here, You really think a man is capable of being as cunning and evil as the devil?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

A man *might* be able to pull it off. Maybe.

But we already established that Jenny is the antichrist, so that theory goes out the window. :)

[Park Kraken]

And in the meantime I'm a perfect :angel . :smokin

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I think we all know better. ;)

[Khendon Sevon]

I'm clearly something of the devil. I write metal songs.


...and eat babies.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

If by perfect angel you mean lunatic, then yes :)

[Crystal]

I work at a supermarket and I had a lady today give me a religious pamplet and told me she was trying to fight "the day of The Beast" by helping God reach everyone. She also told me to pray for my soul tonight. She was kind of scary. I bet she was actually the anti-christ.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Maybe she was the Aunty Christ!

(omg hi Crystal!:D)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

It's a Crystal!! :hug

And this is just another reason I'm glad I work nights. When you sleep most of the day through, you get to bypass the nutters :D

[Mandy with an I]

[Khendon Sevon]

my white cat is sleeping on my lap. I think that's a sign of the end.

But she's sooo cute! How can she be plotting to take over the world?

*blink*

[Lilaena De'Ville]

As soon as you stop watching her she'll get you by the balls and make you take over the world in her name!

[Crystal]

Hi Holly! Hi Christin! :)

It's only 7 more minutes untill 6/6/06 is over. I guess the world really isn't ending. I was hoping something cool would at least happen! Oh well. :(

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Well we're still on the hook for 5 more hours, don't forget about Hawaii :)

[Lady Vader]

Goodness. I don't think I've ever seen the number 6 mentioned so many times in one topic! :eek

[Dasquian Belargic]

In the Hebrew alphabet, waw (“w” or “v”) is the 6th letter. So “www” would be “666”, making the internet a potential candidate.

:eek

[Razielle Alastor]

Shhh! They'll start giving out pamphlets about that next! |I

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Or VWV maybe. Which is nonsense. :uhoh

[Khendon Sevon]

Greek alphabet would be Zeta. ZZZ ;)

Of course, I remember hearing somewhere that somehow 666 (the Number of the Beast) refers to Nero.

Meh.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero

[Khendon Sevon]

Seee!

Ah, biblical mythology.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It's conjectured that it could refer to Nero.

[Khendon Sevon]

It could take months for this thread to reach 666 posts.

What if the world ends before then? Or, what if it ends only once this thread reaches 666?

Hmm?

[Michele Hawkins]

it cant reach 666 ... we close threads at 500 :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

Damn. that's mine and LD's plan foiled, then.

[Michele Hawkins]

You guys are moderators/admins ... you should know this!!! :rolleyes

[Dasquian Belargic]

Need I remind you of the Great Board Fubar?

[Michele Hawkins]

Yes, but that didnt include you Mr. Belargic! :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

Oh, didn't it?

:mischief

[Miranda Tarkin]

No it didn't! You don't have admin powers!

... or do you?! :eek

[Dasquian Belargic]

well... I am the anti-christ. Perhaps LD is merely my puppet, powerless to resist. :evil

[Michele Hawkins]

Hmm.. so your coming was foretold by the merging of all the forums!

:: audible gasp ::

[Dasquian Belargic]

The signs have been there since the Fall of the Garden of Ezboard. You were all too preoccupied to notice... >D

[Jecht Tar]

I knew I should not have eaten of the golden postage fruite (<- E is added for flare)

Strange, I had my money on Marcus being the Anti-Christ...

[Jaime Tomahawk]

Stiggy turned into a monster and ate half of Blaxland.

...

Which basically means business as usual

[Lilaena De'Ville]

She made me merge the forums! I had no choice!

Plus I'm sure I can make an exception for ONE thread. :rolleyes I mean we did accidentally let that one RPing thread climb to over a thousand posts. :mneh

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm still waiting for my 'our moderators can beat up your moderators' tshirt :(

[Serena Laran]

Is that a hidden jibe at how I'm a good idea person but don't follow through?

:verymad

;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Nawp, since I'm guilty of that very thing many times ^_^;

[Lilaena De'Ville]

So a case of the other fingers pointing back at you? ;)

[Miranda Tarkin]

no I demand this thread be closed at 500! :verymad

[Dasquian Belargic]

oof, LD... she is challenging your authority. what you gonna do about that?

[CMJ]

The International Satanic Church had a high mass in Hollywood on Tuesday night. I almost went for a laugh, since I coulda walked there from my apartment.

But I was tired. Kinda wish I'd gone, it was probably a riot. :smokin

[Park Kraken]

Solution: Close this thread at 500 to appease the protesting party :\ , and then re-open it to allow it to get to 666 posts. >D

[Lilaena De'Ville]

There will be no appeasement! :mad LET THEM EAT CAKE! :verymad

[Khendon Sevon]

But I want brownies... and I'm the Emperor!

...Or will be.

[Miranda Tarkin]

THE CO-CREATOR OF "FINDING EMO" DEMANDS COMICS TO APPEASE HIS WRATH!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Finding emo?

Don't you mean... Emu? They can't walk backwards, you know.

[Park Kraken]

Those same people also said that I couldn't walk backwards, but look who's laughing now. Muhahahahaha. :lol >D

[Tony Maxwell]

Finding Emu? Is it that movie were Nicholas Cage plays a down on his luck drug lord gets his shipments mixed up and instead of getting his drugs'n'guns he gets a box with a Emu in it, and then travels around the world trying to find the Emu's real owner?

[Khendon Sevon]

The sign of the devil has appeared on my wrist! Three dots similar to mosquito bites! They're all in a line!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

So, does that mean you're the anti-christ or something?

Cause if so, I smacked myself in the face with a broomhandle this morning at work, and I'm looking for someone other than myself to blame.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It's all Khendon's fault!

[Ebon Dir]

Khendoooooon!

[Khendon Sevon]

*blink*

Well, yes. Yes, I am the reason for all of your troubles! Muuhuhuhuhuhuhahhaahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaa...

Pff, can't accept that I'm more responsible for the woes of the world than you are?

I think the Emu is the real anti-christ and we're all just a pack of wannabes. Failing that the Anti-Christ is Barney.

The correct phrase is: "Let them have brioche". :cool

They can have that too. I'm feeling generous. :angel

[Park Kraken]

Hmmm, Barney would be the one I would least expect. But then again his way of spreading love would turn everyone off to love and onto hate, so that does make sense....O_o

Personally I think if there is anyone who deserves to be the anti-christ, it would be Hillary Clinton.

Aha. I see.

Well, I don't. But, I can pretend I do.

[Park Kraken]

And therein lies the answer to my riddle. >D

[Khendon Sevon]

Sphinx?

Does that mean I get to eat you? I mean, it doesn't seem fair. If the sphinx wins, he eats the other guy, if the other guy wins, he gets to leave.

Let's make this simpler:

*Takes out broadsword* Bow your head!

[Park Kraken]

The true answer is, is that I like to baffle people. For my amusement. But if this is my destiny, then so be it.

*Draws Curved Blade Katana*

[Jecht Tar]

But a Katana is already curved, so why would it be called a Curved Blade Katana? If you curved the blade anymore it wouldn't be much of a katana, it'd be more of a Shamshir (or whatever those big 'ol arabian curved blades are called)

*Runs from the various pointed and/or sharp objects*

[Khendon Sevon]

Yeah. Shamshir works. Some people call 'em Scimitars pronounced Shimitar.

Of course, a curved blade only really has advantages when you're on a horse. Additionally, the fact that they tend to be very curved also means that they suck at thrusting and are primarily used for slashing.

As for the katana: you can't really compare one to a european blade. I mean, sure, europe had plenty of similar weapons. However, the military tactics and techniques called for, generally, drastically different weapons. A katana would not fair well on a european battlefield. Thrusting weapons were superior to slashing/cutting weapons when it came to heavy armor. Crushing weapons were great, too.

Depending on the type of sword, it might do well on a Japanese battlefield.

The katana is often seen as an uber weapon by modern culture. It's invincible in movies and video games.

On the flip side, the term broadsword refers to several different types of swords that include curved or straight variants. I'm personally refering to the arming sword. Specifically, the hand-and-a-half bastard sword--one of my favorite swords.

The bastard sword has a lot of advantages. it can be used single handed until the wielder's arm becomes tired. At that point he can then use both hands to grip the long hilt.

Additionally, when thrusting he can grab the ricasso (if it has one) and use the leverage to help in thrusting and penetrating armor.

The debate of European swords v. Katana has gone on all over the internet.

/End Rant

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I just want everyone to know that this thread is a huge disappointment.

[Ariesa d'Veldrin]

Well he does have a point, you know. As someone that has actualy gone up against a Katana on a battle field with my bastard sword, the Katana had nothing on it. I am suprised the flimsy thing didn't break agianst my sword. The curve of the blade only made it easier to get past his blocks.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Just because a sword didn't have a father doesn't mean you should call it a... a...bastard.
